Bhopal, April 1: In June 2014, Kanchan Uike, a 14-year-old tribal girl from Jopnala village in Madhya Pradesh’s Chhindwara district went missing from home. Her father, Sannu Uike, filed a complaint with police, but despite a long search, Kanchan was not found. After seven years of fruitless searching, the police claimed to have cracked the case, and said Kanchan’s brother, Sonu, had killed her with the help of their father and buried her body in a nearby mango field.

The young woman has resurfaced alive raising serious allegations on the investigation conducted by the police. TOI quoted Kanchan's family as saying that the police had exhumed a skeleton from their own family grave, and assumed they were Kanchan's remains which landed her brother and father in custody.
